But in the end, Bai Liu and his friends failed to successfully join Youzhen's team.
"The witch district doesn't accept men." Youzhen pointed at Bai Liu's nose and warned, "Don't follow us anymore, or you'll be in trouble!"
Leah hesitated for a rare moment. She looked at them with a complicated look and said, "We can't accept you now because we can't handle the changes caused by your coming in."
"But... witches do not hate all men, as you will soon understand."
Watching Youzhen pulling Leah away, Mu Sicheng sighed with mixed feelings. He was a little sad for a rare time: "Should we still follow them? It seems like they don't want us to follow them?"
"Follow." Bai Liu was very straightforward. "Jia Yi's order is to assist Jie Ting, so we must carry it out to the end."
"Actually..." Mu Sicheng scratched his head, "Can we split up with the witches and rob other courts? This would be more efficient, right?"
Bai Liu said: "No, this is not assisting the robbery, this is our own action."
Mu Sicheng was a little confused: "Do I have to assist? Why?"
Bai Liu glanced at Mu Sicheng calmly and said, "Our goal at this stage is to merge with Jiayi, that is, to enter the witch area. But you can see that because we are men, the witches are very repulsive to us."
"Yes." Mu Sicheng continued as a matter of course, "But if we show more ability, help them more, and help them rob more courts, then they might——"
Bai Liu interrupted Mu Sicheng's speculation coldly: "——Then we will never be able to enter the witch area again in this lifetime."
Mu Sicheng's hopeful explanation suddenly got stuck. He asked in confusion, "Why?!"
"Because in this instance, our positions are completely different from theirs. We are the beneficiaries of this environment. If we are also very capable, we can even forcibly surpass them to take the lead, interfere with their decisions, and interrupt their plans. This will lead to a terrible outcome." Bai Liu looked into Mu Sicheng's eyes. "If they easily accept us and we turn against them, they will not be able to accept the consequences at the moment. We will become enemies and both sides will suffer."
"So they will definitely not easily agree to our decision to enter the witch district - even if we have no hostility towards them, people will change."
"This is a very wise decision. In this situation, if we surrender, we can easily defect and gain greater benefits. If we really want to join the other party's organization, there is no need to interfere too much in the other party's decision-making. It is more important to show our sincerity. So we can only assist - this is why Jiayi gave this order."
"Otherwise, given Jiayi's current position in the Witch District, she could just tell the person in charge there that she hopes to let us in. I believe the other party would seriously consider it, but this is not what she wants."
Mu Ke nodded: "So Jiayi hopes that we can impress the witch through our actions and let the witch slowly accept us."
"In the context of witch trials, sincerity is more important than ability," Bai Liu said in a light tone, "and the people who are judging them are all very capable people in the Vatican."
"Then what should we do next?" Tang Erda asked intently.
Bai Liu replied calmly: "Since Jiayi has not ordered us to stop, we will continue to follow."
"But we will assist them based on the situation. We don't necessarily have to save all the people being tried in the court. We will only take action if they take action."
Tang Er frowned: "Why?"
Bai Liu said calmly: "Because the people who will be judged next are all men."
Court No. 77.
Mu Sicheng and Bai Liu hid behind the jury. He stood on tiptoe and glanced at the defendant tied to the pillar in the middle of the courtroom, then looked away in shock: "He is really a man!"
"Aren't witch trials only for witches? How can there be men here?"
"Have you forgotten the trial of Witch's Heart?" Bai Liu said calmly, "After that, in addition to the witch who was tried, everyone who had any connection with the witch would also be tried."
"Unless you are the one who accuses a witch, if there is a witch in your family, you will definitely be implicated."
The bishop, sitting in the judge's seat, banged his gavel and said, "Be quiet!"
"Defendant, your wife defected from the court three days ago after being accused of being a witch. Since then, have you secretly assisted her?"
The man tied to the pillar trembled and said nothing.
The bishop slammed the hammer hard, his voice lowered: "Answer me, defendant, or you will be convicted of aiding a witch!"
"Your property will be confiscated by the Vatican as a punishment, and you will be executed or sent to the border to do hard labor until death, in order to atone for your sin of marrying a witch!"
"But we will not completely deny you a choice. After all, you are also a victim." The bishop's voice became gentler. "Now, you have two choices."
"The first option is to permanently sever your ties with your witch wife. When you see her, report her to the Church immediately. Donate half of your property to buy holy water from the Church. Drink it in court to wash away the witch's curse on you. Swear that from now on you will always belong to the Church, serve as a member of the Church, and be committed to killing all witches you see."
"The second option—"
The bishop's voice paused, and it became noticeably colder: "If you confess, we will use holy fire to judge you and your family members like we judge witches."
"What is your choice?"
Everyone looked at the man tied to the pillar. The whole place fell silent. All that could be heard was the rapid and chaotic breathing of the man with his head down. His expression was confused and frantic, like a struggling trapped beast.
Youzhen, who was hiding in the dark, also had her breathing disordered. She stared at the man intently, and her expression was exactly the same as the man's, struggling with herself.
"The Witch District received a witch three days ago. She must be his wife who defected here." Leah said softly, "The witch said that her husband and other family members helped her defect."
"She initially regretted defecting because her entire family would be put on trial, except for her."
"But more than any regrets, she fears seeing the outcome of the trial on her family."
"--Betray her, right?" Youzhen took a deep breath, raised her hand to wipe her red eyes, and said in a sarcastic and tearful tone, "We can help her save her family and prevent them from getting hurt, but her family may not necessarily choose to be saved by us."
"They're going to choose something else, they're going to choose to stand against us - they're not going to come with us."
When Youzhen said this, her hands and voice were shaking: "It's just like when I went to save my family."
Leah patted her shoulder silently. "I..." The man raised his head and asked almost hoarsely, "Can I choose neither?"
"I can give you all my property, but I don't want to become a member of the Church and hunt witches, okay?"
The bishop rejected him coldly: "There are only two kinds of people here: the witch's enemies and our enemies."
"If you are not the enemy of witches, then you are our enemy."
"The jury has delivered its verdict."
The gavel fell heavily.
There were also signs saying "Guilty" on the backs of the men - after these jury members had convicted a witch or someone related to a witch, they would receive a portion of the convicted person's property as a reward from the Vatican.
Tang Erda looked at the firewood placed under the man's feet with a serious look on his face: "Should we save him?"
"Wait." Bai Liu said calmly, "We will save them if they do. We won't move unless they do."
At the same time, Leah looked at Youzhen, whose eyes were struggling and her expression was frozen, and asked her in a low voice: "Should we save her?"
Youzhen stared at the man's face, her teeth clenched, her chest heaving violently twice, and then at the moment the torch was lit, she drew the bow and arrow behind her, aimed at the head of the bishop sitting on the platform, and said in a sharp and cold tone:
"I am not satisfied with this choice. On principle, I do not want to save any man."
"——But in principle, I don't want to let any bastard go."
"Rule 4 of the Witch Code." Youzhen gritted her teeth and screamed, "—You must not ignore the judgment of the innocent!"
The arrows were released, and the courtroom was in chaos. Bai Liu's eyes moved, and he quickly ordered: "Cooperate with them in the attack."
After a chaotic rescue, Bai Liu stepped forward and let go of the man tied to the pillar. Before the Vatican launched a second counterattack, he pressed the man who had not yet reacted and quickly retreated with the witch.
Then the two sides met.
Youzhen asked immediately: "Why are you still following me?"
Bai Liu quickly raised his hands in surrender, and said innocently: "I just saved this person and wanted to ask what you are going to do with them?"
When Youzhen and Leah saw the man with burns on his body who had not yet reacted, their eyes froze.
——Dealing with men has always been a difficult problem for all witches.
In order to protect witches, the witch district does not accept men, but sometimes they do rescue the witches' male relatives from the trial court, such as parents, brothers, and husbands - these men usually made the decision to stand on the side of the witches in court and be burned to death, so they were rescued by Youzhen and others.
但問題随之而至，她們雖然救下了這些男人，但如何放置這些男人一直都是個難題。
寶拉目前是女巫區周邊開辟一個區域用來放置這些男人，但女巫區的污染很重，這些男人在那裏待着也并不安全，但又不可能把他們送回安全區……
而且這個區域已經滿了，這件事情目前在即将大戰的背景下被擱置，現在徹底陷入了僵局。
幼真難得頓在原地，盯着白柳一句話都不說。
白柳的腰部震動了一下，他低頭看了一眼自己剛剛收到的來自于劉佳儀的消息，擡起頭來，微笑着提出決議：“如果你們不介意的話，可以把救下來的男性放置在我們這邊，我們幫你們處理和審核。”
“你們可以當我們作為一個【服從女巫部署的正常男性】第三方組織，我們不進入女巫區，利用男性身份潛藏在安全區裏，同時我們服從你們的部署，幫助你們進攻。”
幼真疑惑地啊了一聲，利亞微妙地挑了一下眉——
——這個決策，完全可行，簡直就像是為現在的她們量身定制的戰術一樣合适。
白柳微笑着問：“你們覺得怎麽樣？”
他腰間那條來自于劉佳儀的消息是——【第三方組織】。
與此同時，教皇宮。
教皇宮是整個國度最核心的處理機構，在這裏，居住着教廷每一代的最高的權限者教皇，以及從主教晉升而來的紅衣主教，大主教，修女等教廷核心位置人群，在女巫審判開始後，教廷的勢力迅速遍布全世界，教皇宮也因此而變得越來越大——到今天為止，已經是教皇宮第六次大規模翻修和擴建了，教皇宮的規模已經接近于半個城市大小了。
這一代的教皇在擴建的教皇宮有個非常引人注目的提議——他将教皇宮擴建到了天空之島的下面，并且修築了一道天梯。
但這也并不令人驚奇，每一代的教皇都是天空之島的主人，這次擴建可以說是讓他天空之上和之下的領土都重疊了，也便于教廷人士随時上島和下島，而天梯之下，連接的就是教皇宮的修女廳。
修女廳是教皇宮內一處專門培育教化修女的場所，教廷內部的人會每年在全世界各地召集搜集8-14歲的女孩子，在近乎嚴苛地核驗了她們的信仰，沒有接觸和吞食過鳗魚之後，會将她們帶往教皇宮內部培育，熟讀經書和教義，養成聖潔無穢的性情後，在兩到三年合格後，再送出到各個審判庭內。
修女需要保持純潔，所以她們不用吞食鳗魚，修女的作用是淨化被女巫污染的事物和人，也包括在每場審判之後的祈禱淨化儀式，修女會在被燒死的女巫面前虔誠地為她祈禱一個小時，消滅女巫的靈魂——這是為了防止女巫的靈魂從身體裏跑出來俯身到其他女性身體裏繼續作祟。
淨化效果最好的都是年輕的修女，也就是十八歲以下的，那麽修女到了十八歲之後，根據教義，她的淨化功效就會漸漸降低，雖然仁慈的教廷并不會因此而将她們驅逐出去，但大部分的修女在這個時候都會自覺地退出教廷。
退出教廷的修女有兩條非常“好”的出路：
第一，是她可以和一個男人結婚，并且終生都不會再被指控為女巫，因為她曾經是聖潔的修女。
第二，那就是她們擁有優先登上天空之城的資格。
所以成為修女是大部分還未被指控為女巫的少女們最好的路，沒有之一，而擁有一個退出教廷的修女做妻子也是所有男性最幻想的事情——當一個平民的家庭裏有一個修女，他們就和女巫審判這件事絕緣了，因為修女的聖潔會淨化一切。
于是生下女孩的家庭會用盡一切辦法将自己的孩子送進教廷培養為修女，而生下男孩的家庭也會一開始就瘋狂教導自己的孩子，你現在一定要努力，你所做的一切，都是為了長大之後有能力娶一個修女。
——如果你不是修女，如果你的周圍沒有修女，那你終有一天，會被教廷審判！
也因此，修女成為了一種特別受歡迎的職業，但修女畢竟只有少部分，所以修女預備成員之間的競争是非常激烈的——就像是她們的追求者的競争一樣激烈。
盡管教義只要求修女純潔和信仰虔誠，但教廷挑選的時候，好看和氣質獨特的少女總會優先得到挑選，很多父母為了将自己的孩子送進修女培育廳，甚至不惜重金給自己只有十幾歲的孩子整容——但很快這種行為被教廷嚴令禁止了。
“不要去随意修改你的容貌，我們需要你們保持原有的樣子。”教廷挑選修女的神父慈悲地解釋，“那才是神賜予你的樣子。”
在這種激烈的競争下，挑選出來的每個修女都是天然美麗純潔的，而今年這一批修女裏，擁有女巫審判以來最美麗的一位修女。
她并不來自于國度內，而是來自于國度外，她擁有一雙亮綠色的眼睛和一頭柔順卷曲的閃金長發，這讓她看起來像是琉璃彩畫中伴随在神旁邊的天使一樣純真——這也是大家稱贊她最美麗的原因，她完全符合大家對修女一詞的幻想。
每當她合緊雙手垂下眼眸憐憫地為前來向她訴苦的人祈禱的時候，都是那麽的讓人感動。
“希望您的苦惱早點消散。”她輕聲細語，“希望您的靈魂能在死亡後上天堂。”
“謝謝你！”前來訴苦的男人感激地快要落下淚，他伸出手下意識地想要握住修女的手，但很快就在修女的躲避下，就像是突然醒悟般地清醒過來，非常不好意思地臉紅起來，“抱歉，我忘了修女不能接觸我們這些非教廷的普通男人。”
她只是單純地笑了笑，揮手表示并不在意。
男人越發感激，他偷瞄了修女兩眼，深吸一口氣，鼓足了勇氣之後才敢詢問：“您，請問您大概什麽時候會離開教廷呢？”
——在這個國度裏，詢問一個修女什麽時候會離開教廷，就像是詢問她什麽時候會嫁人一樣。
“當然！我知道我配不上您！”男人很快口是心非地辯解起來，但他在修女純真的亮綠色眼睛的注視下，解釋的話顯得那麽力不從心，都有些結巴起來了，“我，我就是随口一問！您也可以不用回答我！”
“離開教廷嗎？”修女溫柔地笑起來，“我今年滿十六歲，你覺得我什麽時候能離開教廷呢？”
“兩，兩年後？”男人磕巴地回答。
“不。”修女亮綠色的眼睛裏閃爍着不知名的情緒，她勾起唇角，語氣是那麽地漫不經心，“當然是随時。”
男人頭暈腦脹，表情迷離地離開了修女廳，他和一個低着頭，神色焦急又急匆匆的神父在教皇宮的內圍花園裏擦肩而過，這位神父推開修女廳的大門，在看到只有她一個修女後，擦了一下額頭的冷汗，才喊出了聲：“菲比！”
菲比轉身，綠色的眼睛一瞬間暗沉下去：“還沒有找到紅桃在這個游戲裏身份消息嗎？”
穿着神父裝的齊一舫被菲比那麽一掃，就像是條件反射般出了一身冷汗，他弱弱地回答：“……沒有。”
菲比語氣懶散地點評：“你和劉集還真是兩個廢物。”
齊一舫：“……QAQ。”
皇後，你到底在哪裏，你快來啊！我們根本hold不住菲比啊！
他們公會真是流年不利，先是在挑戰賽就被抽中了，要多打一場，現在又是一登入這個副本他們和紅桃之間的聯絡就斷了，怎麽都聯系不上，也不知道紅桃的登陸點在什麽地方，強行地屏蔽了他們和紅桃之間的聯系，現在他們只能偌大一個地圖慢慢地去搜消息，找紅桃。
“提坦呢？”菲比随意地坐在神像下，拿了一個這些人供奉給神的蘋果，咬了一大口，綠色的眼睛一掃劉集，“你們沒讓他被發現吧？”
“沒有沒有！”齊一舫瘋狂搖頭，“我們按照你的吩咐把提坦藏在海邊了！目前是劉集負責那邊的教廷，沒有被發現！”
“但皇後的确還沒有消息。”
齊一舫憂愁地垮下臉：“這不應該啊，皇後一般都會主動聯絡我們的啊，這不應該我們都彙合了，她還沒消息的。”
菲比掀了一下眼皮：“我得到了一個消息，說天空之城上有個人從稱號叫紅桃皇後。”
齊一舫一喜：“那一定是皇後了！那我們快上去找……”
“但那人是個男人。”菲比饒有趣味地掃着什麽都不知道的齊一舫變得愕然的臉，幾乎是惡劣地說，“你也知道，游戲裏不能改性別，那你覺得，或者說你希望……”
“這個人是皇後嗎？”
齊一舫表情一片空白：“哈？！”
After appreciating Qi Yifang's dazed expression, Phoebe looked away in boredom, her tone becoming cold again: "We can't go up to the Sky City to look for it for now. We don't know what's on that map. The fact that Hong Tao is trapped up there and can't come down to look for us shows that there's something wrong with that map."
"We should start by mapping the underside of the island."
"But, but..." Qi Yifang's brain was so overwhelmed by the things Phoebe kept throwing out that he couldn't think anymore. He could only stutter and ask, "But we haven't merged with the tactician yet! Are we just going to push forward like this? We should wait until the queen merges with us and comes up with a tactic before pushing forward..."
"Why do we have to wait for him?" Phoebe interrupted Qi Yifang impatiently. She raised her head. Although she had an innocent face, her eyes and words were extremely cold. "If he can't come down from the island to find us, then he is also his own waste."
"It's the league now, I don't have time to wait for waste."
Qi Yifang was stunned. He was so anxious that he almost cried: "Phoebe, but we don't have a tactician! How can we play in the league without a tactician?!"
Wuwuwu, at this time he will miss Jiayi very much, and Jiayi will also be their tactician, but at least there is discussion. Phoebe is the type that is so strong that there is no way to interrupt her, except that Hearts can barely communicate with her on an equal footing - this is mainly because Hearts's level is higher than Phoebe's. Phoebe is the type who can send you away on the spot for the sake of victory.
——No matter who you are.
"It's just that Red Heart is not here. Why is there no tactician?" Phoebe looked at him strangely, "Am I not a human?"
Qi Yifang wanted to hold his head and scream—he knew it!!
Whenever Phoebe is involved in a match, every match becomes a large-scale dynastic coup - Phoebe will constantly try to seize the tactician authority from Hearts, and sometimes even attack Hearts, all thanks to Hearts' rich experience to be able to withstand it.
This is also the reason why Hearts did not let Phoebe join the team before.
Phoebe is a player with very strong attacking power and ambition. Her mobility and aggressiveness are very strong. Although her personal skills are auxiliary and she is in the [Control] position, she can play both the [Roaming] and [Main Attack] positions. She can be said to be a genius all-round player. In some aspects, she is even stronger than Liu Jiayi at that time. She is a player of the same level as Bai Liu and Ni Shen, and she always drags down her teammates who can't keep up with the speed.
She is a natural tactician - Qi Yifang has heard the queen say this about Phoebe more than once.
But Phoebe has a fatal weakness - her tactics are too radical and can easily kill teammates.
In other words, my teammates are too weak.
Qi Yifang, as a teammate who has always been mocked by Phoebe as "waste", is really afraid of Phoebe taking control. Hearts' tactics will be relatively gentle, not aggressively attacking, but focusing on defense. At least they will take their ability limits into consideration, but Phoebe's style of play is completely to die together.
She doesn't care whether they live or die.
But now that Red Heart is gone, there is no one in the whole place who can suppress Phoebe! !
Phoebe jumped down from the table under the statue briskly. She threw away the core of the apple she had just eaten and clapped her hands in a slightly happy manner. Her bright green eyes curved with a smile: "It's just right that Hearts is not here. I don't like his weak style of play at all. It's not pleasant at all."
"He is now trapped on the island and cannot leave. If he is more sensible and wants to win this game, he'd better delegate the tactician authority to me now."
"Of course it doesn't matter if he doesn't devolve." Phoebe shrugged nonchalantly, "As long as he dies on the island and leaves the game, the tactician authority will be mine."
She clasped her hands together, closed her eyes and prayed devoutly: "Lord, now I hope that Red Heart will go to hell."
"?!?" Qi Yifang was scared and wanted to cry, just like a poor kid whose parents ran away from home and had to stay with the bad kids who bullied him. He could only tremble and whisper back, "Phoebe, the Queen is our president after all, right? Isn't it bad for you to curse her like this?"
"President?" Phoebe glanced at the whole group with a faint look in her eyes, and suddenly smiled innocently, "Maybe he won't be one soon."
Qi Yifang was stunned: "...The Queen is no longer the president anytime soon, what does that mean?"
"That weak guy." Phoebe smiled sweetly, her hands clasped under her chin, her face full of holy halo, "In order to avoid what he didn't want to face, he gave me the rights of the guild heir before this year's competition."
"——As long as he is really dead, I will be the president of the King's Crown."
"So please let him go to hell as soon as possible."
Qi Yifang's mind was completely blank at this moment: "What?! The Queen gave you the authority of the president?!"
Phoebe's system panel shook, and a prompt popped up:
[System prompt: The player Queen of Hearts has transferred the team's tactician authority to you. Please deploy carefully and lead the team to victory! ]
"What a weak move in the style of Hearts." Phoebe sneered softly. She smiled and waved the system panel in her hand at Qi Yifang, who was almost in a daze. "Now the tactician authority is also mine."
"Come with me, Team Waste."
viewing pool.
When Wang Shun saw the tactician logo appear above Phoebe's head, he gasped, and a large number of audience members in the audience had the same reaction as him.
This made even the host feel numb. He stared at the big screen in a trance, and spoke into the microphone in a somewhat discontinuous manner: "The King's Guild has also delegated its tactician authority to the new team members..."
"So what is this?!"
The host said incredulously: "A duel between the two teams' new tacticians?! In the crucial arena that determines whether the two teams can enter the playoffs?!"
Audience members whispered:
"Wow, a duel between rookies. Who's going to win or lose is still uncertain."
"...I can't figure out what these two presidents are thinking."
"I am the only one who cares about what the nun just said. Now that the queen is dead, she will be the new president?! What's going on!?"
Yuan Guang, who was sitting next to Wang Shun, also tensed up. He was sitting here on behalf of the Russell Cemetery after the merger. When Bai Liu delegated authority to Liu Jiayi, he was dizzy because of this operation. Now that the other party has also delegated authority, he is even more dizzy. He had to support Wang Shun and asked him: "What is going on?"
"I didn't expect... that the Queen would give Phoebe the authority over the guild and the tactician so quickly." Wang Shun's face darkened. "I only know that she didn't want to be the president a long time ago, so she chose Jiayi as her successor and trained her to take over her authority."
Yuan Guang was stunned: "Don't want to do it anymore? Why? She is one of the strongest players in this game?!"
"I don't know." Wang Shun lowered his head heavily, folded his hands in front of himself, and was silent for a moment before speaking, "The Queen's skill will allow me to become the person I want to see most in my heart when I look directly at her, so I have never successfully tested her thoughts."
"Why would a top player at the peak of his powers give up his position?" Daniel, who was lying on the railing, asked boredly. He turned to look at Cen Mingming, "Hey, President, you look like you know everything. Do you know why?"
Cen Mingming crossed his arms and glanced at Daniel indifferently: "Shouldn't you know more about the King's Guild?"
"That dangerous nun is your sister, right?"
"From a biological perspective, she is indeed my sister." Daniel looked at Phoebe on the big screen with a slightly resistant expression and clicked his tongue in annoyance. "But from all aspects, her identity should be more accurately defined as my competitor rather than my sister."
"And a pretty strong competitor."
Cen Mingming raised one eyebrow slightly: "Although I have no interest in your family affairs, if you want to talk about it, I can listen."
——What a gossipy sentence that is both welcoming and rejecting.
Daniel couldn't help but change his hand to hold his chin. He stared at Phoebe on the big screen for a while, and his apple green eyes darkened.
"You should know my real identity, President? I don't need to introduce my background to you again, right?" Daniel's voice suddenly rang out.
Cen Mingming nodded coldly: "I know."
——An arms dealer who is so powerful that even the White Six from other world lines will actively cooperate with him. He will use a cruel method, like taming a beast, to select his successor from his descendants.
Daniel is the winner among these generations of fighting each other. He inherited the entire group after his father's death and became the most useful and most easily accidentally fired gun in Bai Liu's hands.
"My father had many lovers. He didn't care about them and wouldn't let them into our family. But he would bring back the children born from them and teach us how to use guns and shoot since we started walking." Daniel tilted his head and spoke casually, "My mother was his first wife. When I was five years old, she betrayed him and was killed by him while she was praying by his bed."
"Phoebe's mother was his second wife. When he married Phoebe's mother, Phoebe had been raised by the Sinchmani family until she was five years old. I was about seven years old at that time."
Daniel paused for a moment, as if he found it interesting, and started playing a question-and-answer game with Cen Mingming: "Why do you think my father chose Phoebe's mother as his second wife among all the lovers?"
Cen Ming was silent for a moment: "I don't know."
——In short, there is nothing that can be inferred conventionally in this little lunatic's family.
"It's because of Phoebe." Daniel leaned back lazily. "My father was going to marry the mother of another boy - his other lover."
"But Phoebe changed his mind."
Daniel raised his head and looked at Phoebe on the big screen. His tone was dark. "Phoebe, who is only five years old, has inherited his genes perfectly. She has even surpassed him. She is cruel, strong, and cold. When she is climbing, she will hold the gun tightly. She has an innate desire to control anything that can be plundered and let her climb up. Compared with other heirs who can only cry, Phoebe is as excellent as a creature of another species."
"My father was impressed by Phoebe's excellence. Although there has never been a female heir in the Sinchmani family, Phoebe made him sway."
"He decided to marry Phoebe's biological mother to pave the way for Phoebe to be the heir."
"When I was thirteen and Phoebe was ten, our family held a trial for succession." Daniel looked at the big screen and narrated calmly, "The trial was very simple. It was to shoot at an apple on the head of a living person ten meters away."
"These living people were our closest foster mothers at the time. All the children came on stage crying, except Phoebe."
"--Even though she was going to shoot a living target, the living person standing opposite her with the apple on her head was her biological mother."
"We had to fire ten shots in total, and someone would replace the apple for us. Some kids collapsed and stopped when they fired the first shot. People kept getting injured and being dragged away to be rescued."
"There were only two kids on the field who fired ten shots. One was me and the other was Phoebe. My target was my servant at the time. He was not injured.
